Informatics

The size of the University, coupled with the interdisciplinary nature of its research, has enabled Manchester to position itself as a centre of excellence in the provision of Informatics research and teaching.

When defined in its broadest sense; the study of information and information systems, Informatics research can be seen to be taking place across a wide variety of subject areas and, in many places, in partnership with commercial, industrial and public sector organisations.

The creation of Digital Futures, a highly interdisciplinary network that operates across the whole range of the University’s digital research, is evidence of the strategic importance attached to this exciting and rapidly expanding field.

Areas of notable strength include:
